Forming Covalent Compounds with Lewis Structure

How do covalent bonds form?

• Donating & receiving valence e- between atoms.
• Opposite slight charges attract each other between compounds.
• Scientists are still not sure how they form.
• Sharing valence e- between atoms.

What two types of atoms make a covalent bond?

• 2 Nonmetals

• 1 Nonmetal and 1 Metal

• 2 Metals

• 2 Noble Gases

Which of the following is NOT formed by a covalent bond?

Diatomic elements are defined as IDENTICAL elements that bond with each other (i.e. Oxygen with Oxygen).  What type of bond should they form?

• Ionic
• Polar Covalent
• Nonpolar Covalent
• Van der Waals force

What is the proper name for S₂O₂?

• Sulfur oxide
• Sulfur dioxide
• sulfur (II) oxide
• disulfur dioxide

Why do atoms share electrons?

• To attain the electron configuration of a noble gas.
• To become ions and take a charge
• to increase the mass
• it's a nice thing to do.
